Funny you should say that................ They've both just had their tea and Chuch was in the hall, so i opened Charlie's door, but Chuch was at an angle where he couldn't see him-he knew he was there tho' cos he wanted to go out and had a swipe and meow at me on the way!!!!

in my admittedly limited experience, if only one of the two is hissy, and the other isn't bothered, hissy soon gives up

Not too bad thanks! Still have them separated (i know, i'm a coward lol) but Chuch only growled at Charlie for 10 seconds today and had a swipe at my legs (luckily i had jeans on!) so looking good! Charlie took no notice at all and just looked at him!

You going on about them jeans again! Your very vain arnt you dear!!!

Glad everything is going fantastic between them Shirl.....I think you should brace yourself and go for it soon.....The Feliway should of started to work on you by now!

How's things going with the terrible twosome Shirl? Thats Chuch and you by the way....Charlie is a saint!

Shirley · « **Reply #259 on:** December 02, 2009, 08:37:22 AM »

Oh good!! I'll have a proper go later when Chuch wakes up, which will probably be lunchtime now-he sleeps a LONG time lol!

Dawn F · « **Reply #258 on:** December 02, 2009, 08:33:43 AM »

doesn't sound too bad!!

Shirley · « **Reply #257 on:** December 02, 2009, 08:12:15 AM »

I hope you're right, Baz!!!!!

This morning, when i was still half asleep, I'd fed both of them and had Charlie's door wedged open about 3" and he was peeping through the door with Chuch sitting opposite, growling, but not for long! He's now on my bed so let Charlie have a walk around, but he doesn't seem at all relaxed! He's now asleep under the bed!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #256 on:** December 02, 2009, 02:48:08 AM »

That's fab news Shirley!!! I would say just a couple more days then no more segregation will be necessary!

All normal responses, you have to remember when cats really have a dislike for each other there are obvious signs.....None of them there! Good luck hun with this.....

Sending you all loads of calming vibes!

Shirley · « **Reply #255 on:** December 01, 2009, 16:55:54 PM »

It went good! Julie (my friend) didn't need the paramedics and neither cat needed the vet so RESULT! Chuch had a growl at the door for a minute or two, Charlie was hiding under the bed, Julie was there with her goves and my oven gloves ready to pounce if needed lol! Chuch then walked away, tail down and flicking, and wanted to go outside. He was out for 10 minutes,so i encouraged him to see Charlie again-this time , he went into the room, Charlie, still under the bed, hissed at him and he walked away! Asleep on my bed ever since! I'll try again when he wakes up, tho' i am on my own now....................

Baz, what do you mean by 'his old smell'-duh! x

The scent he would of had that was not the same as your house when he came!

Will be thinking of you all tomorrow, really cant see there being any probs!

Shirley · « **Reply #252 on:** November 29, 2009, 19:51:24 PM »

Baz, what do you mean by 'his old smell'-duh! x

Trigger, hope you're right! x

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #251 on:** November 29, 2009, 18:27:53 PM »

it was a big turning point for me with Tosker when he stopped chirruping at Tiffany and Trigger and started chirruping at me

Chuch knows now that Charlie is no big threat, and so although he might put him in his place occasionally, I think the time for major ructions are well past

Bazsmum · « **Reply #250 on:** November 29, 2009, 18:25:41 PM »

Vibes for you all Shirl!

That's fab news, it makes you realise all the more now how much he loves you!

His old smell must be gone now and thats why Chuchy has'nt made a fuss! I really think its gonna be fine!

Shirley · « **Reply #249 on:** November 29, 2009, 17:23:16 PM »

Great!!!!!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #248 on:** November 29, 2009, 17:18:46 PM »

I think he is very happy indeed

Shirley · « **Reply #247 on:** November 29, 2009, 16:46:18 PM »

Charlie seems to have found his voice today! Normally, when i go into his room, he makes a weird, chirruppy sound and wants lots of fuss. Today, i shut Chuch in my bedroom (he was asleep on my bed anyway, for a change) and let Charlie have a walk around. I was in the kitchen preparing my dinner and he never shut up!!!! I gave him some bits off the chicken (him and his mom used to love a bit of Sunday dinner at work) and he still carried on!!! I hope this means he's a happy little man

When Chuch came out later, he was very calm and didn't make any bother at all, even tho Charlie had scratched the same bit of settee as he does.............

(Good job it's old!)

Think the drugs are working!!!!!

Thanks for the calming vibes-are they for me or the cats???

Bazsmum · « **Reply #246 on:** November 29, 2009, 15:34:33 PM »

@ the Feliway for yourself!

So Tuesday is gonna be the day then....Sending calming vibes that your friend can work some extra magic to make everything go smoothly!

Me and my lot are fine,

for asking!

Shirley · « **Reply #245 on:** November 28, 2009, 16:04:34 PM »

Hi Baz, things aren't too bad actually, she says

!! Chuch had a half hearted swipe at me this morning cos he was outside so i sorted Charlie out first, so he must've smelt him on my dressing gown and tried to eat the sleeve!! lol That Feliway is good stuff-i'll have to get some for myself when i start work!

My friend is coming round on Tuesday afternoon to help with the introductions!!!! She's used to not very pleasant cats-it was her's who was pts the day i found Charlie-and he was never very friendly! I hope Chuch won't scare Charlie to death, but at least i won't be on my own!

Hope you and your lot are good! xx

Bazsmum · « **Reply #244 on:** November 28, 2009, 15:42:39 PM »

Hows everything Shirley, hope things are good with the babes and yourself!

Well done Shirley, hope it goes well

Shirley · « **Reply #241 on:** November 24, 2009, 18:42:13 PM »

Thanks Baz

Yes, i am in a bungalow so hopefully i'll get a result from the Feliway

Bazsmum · « **Reply #240 on:** November 24, 2009, 18:16:56 PM »

On your new job!

Excellent start date too...Oo Im excited for you!!!

I think you mentioned you live in a bungalow did'nt you Shirley, as long as the door is kept open it will waft about the place...Im sure one Feliway would cover your place!

Shirley · « **Reply #239 on:** November 24, 2009, 16:27:27 PM »

positive!

The starting date will give me time (he says with everyhing crossed!) to get Chuch and Charlie sorted!!!!

are you sure there's nothing to come out of the closet

Shirley · « **Reply #237 on:** November 24, 2009, 16:21:43 PM »

Thanks Dawn!

It does say not to move it around, but haven't seen anything about the range

Dawn F · « **Reply #236 on:** November 24, 2009, 16:06:04 PM »

wonderful news about the job!!! good to hear you've nothing in the closet either!!!

Feliway does have a limited range but I can't remember what it is, should say on the leaflet

Shirley · « **Reply #235 on:** November 24, 2009, 16:02:10 PM »

Hi All, the Feliway has arrived and is plugged in, but now Chuch has decided to come into the living room-does it matter that the Feliway is in the bedroom??

And the good news is......................................................i got the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 24 hrs aweek over 5 days, starting 4th Jan, a 3 month temp contract but she's sure it will become permanent. Subject to a CRB check (no problem there, i've always been a good girl!) and health check-oops! they don't know about my health problems but it hasn't stopped me working full time for the last 7 years since i found out, so should be ok! The starting date will give me time (she says with everyhing crossed!) to get Chuch and Charlie sorted!!!!

Shirley · « **Reply #234 on:** November 23, 2009, 21:35:12 PM »

I'll be glad when i'm at that stage lol!

Chuch was having a snuggle on my lap about half an hour ago, so cute, and then he had a little nip-may have been cos he was half asleep and wanted me to stop fussing him! He hasn't been out all day and i was dying to get in to Charlie cos he's on his own so much, in the end Chuch wanted some food so i put a Zylkene i (think they may be damp cos like a piece of rubber instead of powder, but still in date) and he ate it! He STILL didn't go out, so i went to Charlie anyway and gave him food and fuss!

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #233 on:** November 23, 2009, 19:34:35 PM »

I think they can fool you too, Shirley - I don't think all agression is out and out hostility, from my own observations

Tosker chases after Tiffany sometimes, and she makes quite a noise about it if he catches up with her - but I notice when she is in front of the fire she will let him get right up to her - though of course she pretends she's asleep

and I notice Trigger, who never engages in any way with either of them, usually emerges to have a look see what all the noise is about when Tosker is on one of his little rampages

Shirley · « **Reply #232 on:** November 23, 2009, 19:09:19 PM »

He's always been a fussy eater (like most cats?) but just lately, he's past a joke! He has Felix or Whiskas, which i know aren't the best, but i can't afford the expensive stuff!!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #231 on:** November 23, 2009, 18:43:11 PM »

Its a good situation really as Charlie seem's to be taking all of Chuch's antics with a pinch of salt! Hope the Feliway will settle him and the Zyklene if you manage to get him to ingest it that is! My 5 pouches opened for one sitting..He must cost you a small fortune on food alone!

Shirley · « **Reply #230 on:** November 23, 2009, 18:01:34 PM »

Chuch has just had a growl at him thro' the door...........................

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #229 on:** November 23, 2009, 17:38:50 PM »

so just chuch to settle and it will be purrrrrrfect, i hope that the zykline or what ever helps, think he still sees charlie as an intruder and he sounds so like triggers tosker

Shirley · « **Reply #228 on:** November 23, 2009, 09:55:15 AM »

Fingers crossed for the same here Jane lol!

Janeyk · « **Reply #227 on:** November 23, 2009, 09:24:38 AM »

We had that with Byron when we adopted Pepper Shirley but she is ok now unless he acidentally walks into her

it should settle so long as Chuch gets lots of affection he should come to realise GB is no threat

Shirley · « **Reply #226 on:** November 23, 2009, 08:43:16 AM »

Yes, Jane he really does-even when Chuch is growling at hm through the wedged open door, he just carries on having a wash lol!

Lesley

what a great idea!!!! I'll have to give my freebie Zylkene and Feliway a try first-i'm skint!!!!! Been out of work nearly 7 months now.................................!!!
